Known issues

In Solaris OS, after installing the update from the administrator, the server does not stop, although the update is applied.

As a workaround, for the applied update to take effect, restart the server manually.

Prerequisites

If you have not already applied ColdFusion 10 Mandatory Update, apply it first. This step is not required if you have ColdFusion 10 Update 12 or later.

On 64-bit computer, use 32-bit JRE for 32-bit ColdFusion and 64-bit JRE for 64-bit ColdFusion.

If the ColdFusion server is behind a proxy, specify the proxy settings for the server to get the update notification and download the updates. Specify proxy settings using the system properties below in the jvm.config for a stand-alone installation, or corresponding script file for JEE installation.

http.proxyHost

http.proxyPort

http.proxyUser

http.proxyPassword

For ColdFusion running on JEE application servers, stop all application server instances before installing the update.

You could encounter a Signature Verification Failed error when downloading and installing this update. To resolve this issue, download and install the ColdFusion 10 Mandatory Update first, before installing ColdFusion 10 Update 23. For more information, see this article. If this error persists, then download ColdFusion 10 Update 23, afresh. This error is primarily due to certain issues with download.

If you get the following error when installing the update using the Download and Install option, ensure that the folder {cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/hf_updates has write permission: "An error occurred when performing a file operation write on file {cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/hf-updates/hotfix_00023.properties".

If you are upgrading to JDK 8 after installing ColdFusion 10 Update 23, copy tools.jar manually from {JDK_Home}/lib to {cf_install_home}/cfusion/lib/. Overlooking this step can result in the failure of ColdFusion Web Services.

Installing the update manually

Execute the following command on the downloaded JAR. Launch the command prompt to apply the update. You must have privileges to start or stop ColdFusion service and full access to the ColdFusion root directory.

Press Ctrl+F5 to remove the bulb notification from the top banner of the ColdFusion Administrator.

If ColdFusion server doesn't start automatically (ps -ef | grep -i coldfusion command indicates ColdFusion is running, but the ColdFusion Administrator cannot be accessed), restart the server manually after applying the update. This issue is rare and occurs on few Unix or Linux-based operating systems (when buffer allocation size of the machine console is almost zero).
